I thought I was the only one experiencing problems with my vehicle. Not only is it the gas gauge. I had the water pump fixed and other things aren't working either. I had my vehicle shipped to Germany where I am now stationed and now Im stuck and don't know what to do. I need my transportation. Germany is not a walk around country where you can go from point A to B. And not to mention I have a pregnant wife who I also need to transport around.

GM is not willing to do anything about the check engine light that is on, the fuel gauge that always reads Empty and the speedometer that gets stuck. I cannot pass the emissions which means that I can not update my registration which means that I will be fined. GM knows that they have a faulty product!

Yes I think this is really sad, I bought me a 2005 Chevy trailblazer and when we got it just thought it was out of gas, so we stopped to fill it up and went on our way home and the gas gauge never moved and the light stays on! I think this really sucks because it needs to be recalled there are to many of these problems of these out there and what's the use of have a new suv with a gas gauge problem that and it sucks having to watch the miles! I think they need to stand strong and fix the things that goes wrong with the suv or any cars that there are more than one person with the same thing wrong!!!!
I know I can just pay for the suv let alone spend 500-800 dollars on it to fix it! Is there anything we can do?

The fuel light in my Trailblazer stays on even after filling the tank. If so many people have the same problem...why hasn't there been a recall? At least $500 to repair is horrible. I refuse to pay it. I just fill up gas every 275-300 miles.

I guess I am not alone. I stopped and filled my tank today and when I started my car it said I had no gas. The whole way home from the gas station the gauge went up and down, The light would come on and ding...again and again.
What a pain to never know how much gas you have. Heck I can barely keep up when the gauge does work. This is not something I will be able to afford to fix on my own....RECALL please.

My gas gauge never goes above a quarter of a tank no matter if it is full or not. I know this is a known issue since my friend has a 2005 Trailblazer as well and has the same issue. It seems whenever somebody is in my SUV they also know somebody else with a Chevy that has the same problem. This is ridiculous!!!!!!!

I have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer and was really happy to find out that I am not the only one that Chevy has crapped on with this problem. My gas light also stays on and always registers as empty or a tiny bit above. I think instead of bailing out the automakers they should bail out us little guys who got sh*t on by the automakers and fix our cars... the ones we cant afford to fix because we pay such a high auto payment on the cars that we thought were "LIKE A ROCK"!!! RECALL PLEASE!!!!

it seems the more that i investigate the problem the more complaints i find about people having the same problem with these trucks. Now on top of the fuel gauge problem my husband thinks that its affecting the fuel pump as well. IT is a HUGE pain in the ass because i have a son i take places, not to mention all my nieces and nephews. And in the winter months i have to go by my mileage to try and guess how much gas i have. I have run out 2 times already and once was in the middle of nowhere the second on a busy highway. This is definitely something that needs to be addressed by gm, this is happening to way too many people all across the country to just be a fluke. I think that either a class action suit or something needs to be done and i would be very interested in pursuing it so if anyone is interested in giving it a go please feel free to email me with any suggestions or whatever. thankyou

It started back on October 2007 when there was approx 21,300 miles on vehicle and the only way I can keep up with how much gas I have is to set my trip meter and figure how many miles I can go on what I have put into tank. This is really getting to be a pain because of the cost of gas now. The dealership said that the part along would cost around $131.00 and that's not with the labor added in. My husband's 2000 Silverado is now doing the exact same thing. I would think if this is a problem with the Chevrolet's there would have been some type of recall or notice sent out to their "loyal customers". I been thinking about trading in my vehicle for a Toyota.

this is my first time on autobeef and it seems to be a good source. I am very dissatisfied because my warranty has also gone out and now this expensive problem occur. i feel like it should be recall because we have know control over the gas sensor that is not our is fault. It should an immediate recall due it is a hazard for the owner and passengers.I just want my vehicle prepare at the Chevrolet expesende. thank you Deborah

the first time i left my tank run low, to the point of the light coming on, the light never went off, and the gauge indicator did not move. tank has been filled many times since and the fuel level low indicator comes on, the gauge moves a little bit from time to time, then goes back to showing empty, the most it will move is up to 1/2 tank indicator. this happened when the car was out of warranty. This is only the 2nd time in my llife that I purchased a brand new car, and I am very disappointed.

THE VEHICLE IS 2 AN 1/2 YEARS OLD AND THE DEALER ORIGINALLY WANTED 1300.00 TO REPLACE THE TANK! AFTER QUESTIONING, THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. HAD THE CAR BACK TWICE TO THE DEALER BEFORE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. VERY INCONVENIENT.

The Dealer was willing to repair the problem if it was the Module in the dash that was bad under an extended warranty from GM but since it was the sensor in the tank they would not cover it.
I have a freind that has a 2004 Blazer that had the same problem which had the same results, they will replace the Module but not the sensor. I dont how many complaints about the fuel sensor or the Module have come up but the Dealer where I took my car for service indicated that there have been quite a few complaints about this problem

Put in over 50.00 of gas and gas gauge went to E and low fuel light came on. Cannot get it to move back to full. Per one of my co-workers same issue happened to his trailblazer and will cost over 500.00 to repair.
